“Beware, O People of Baha, lest ye walk in the ways of them whose words differ from their deeds… Let your acts be a guide unto all mankind, for the professions of most men, be they high or low, differ from their conduct. It is through their deeds that ye can distinguish yourselves from others… Happy is the man that heedeth My counsel.”
~ Baha’u’llah, Gleanings, no. CXXXIX, p. 305
“Guidance hath ever been given by words, and now it is given by deeds. Every one must show forth deeds that are pure and holy, for words are the property of all alike, whereas such deeds as these belong only to Our loved ones. Strive then with heart and soul to distinguish yourselves by your deeds? In this wise We counsel you in this holy and resplendent tablet.”
~ Baha’u’llah, Hidden Words, Persian no. 76
“The essence of faith is fewness of words and abundance of deeds; he whose words exceed his deeds, know verily that his death is better than his life.”
~ Baha’u’llah, Tablets, p. 156
